V. 36.— For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. They had, however, need of patience. In the world they must have tribulation: they were appointed thereto. They must suffer with Christ here, in order that they might reign with Him hereafter. The Lord would lead them in the right way, only let them hold fast the faith, and not be moved away from the hope of the Gospel. The promise of eternal glory would make rich amends for their present light afflictions.
